Hey guys. I’m sure this has crossed some minds on dev team, but what do you think about a hero with strafe jumping passive ability? This would bring something fresh and unique in OW and attract some Quake players as well (OW sure could use a player population buff).

Yeah just like in Quake. A way to accelerate your speed with jumping. I’m not saying to adopt this mechanic and drastically change the way OW plays, but adding a hero with such ability would be interesting imo.

I think you meant Pharah? I’m not suggesting reworking her(although her rocket launcher does feel like the one in Quake). Lets leave her the way she is. A new hero with a specific design, with boosters on his/her sides(so that it can make sense lore wise) would be great.

I’m sure the devs can think of something about the character’s other abilities and weapons. But I think this is highly possible in OW engine. That’s vulnerable yes but there are other heroes that require good mechanical skill too.

that’s true but i mean reaper does have the biker skin, and now lucio wouldn’t need to taxi him everywhere, also he could still do the whole flanker thing aswell, it would just be another part of his kit.

Yeah but they already had a sniper in the game but still made space for Ana. You know what I’m saying? Also, Lucio’s speed buff affects all the heroes around him. He’s a support. I’m talking about an offensive damage dealer that would require mechanical skill.
